A quick bite to eat in Devonport and we’re on the road west – when we spy a sign to Leven Canyon, as it’s still so early we decide to take the detour and check it out.

This place looks so inviting, we decide to stay here for the night – only problem was we didn’t go shopping for milk, bread, fruit & vege before we detoured. But no worries, we will survive a night on what we have in the kitchen.

The walk to the canyon was to a high lookout which amazed us with its commanding views of Leven Canyon. Over 275m to the floor. The lower lookout was 697 steps, carved into the edge – but with rope handrail all the way. It was nice to be walking in Tassie again – but we wore Leni out!

The only problem here was the March flys were like bee’s – noisy and persistent. Out came the net again, for some respite.

Our drive back to the coast was through districts of Poppy fields, Potato and Cattle farms.
